2. Strongbow Dark Fruit
3. Stella Artois Cidre
4. Old Mout Kiwi & Lime
5. Thatchers Gold Cider
I’m not a huge fan of the sweetness of Rekorderlig, so some these will be somewhat less sweet but definitely more enjoyable and refreshing in the long run!
Are you ready? Let’s dive in!
1. Kopparberg Mixed Fruit
Kopparberg, like Rekorderlig, is a Swedish cider that has captured the hearts and taste buds of the masses worldwide. This cider is perfect for those who enjoy the sweeter side of life.
The Mixed Fruit variant is a particular favourite, combining the flavours of blackcurrant and raspberry with apple cider. The result is a refreshing, fruity drink that’s ideal for a sunny afternoon. It’s similar to Rekorderlig in terms of sweetness, but with its own unique flavour profile.
When I first tasted Kopparberg Mixed Fruit, I was taken aback by the vibrant burst of (artificial?) berry flavours, followed by the familiar crispness of the apple cider. The sweetness was too much but similar to Rekorderlig.
However, I’m sure it’s a great choice for those who enjoy Rekorderlig’s cider!
2. Strongbow Dark Fruit
Next up, we have Strongbow Dark Fruit. This cider is a British classic, known for its robust and distinctive taste. It’s not as sweet as Rekorderlig, but it’s packed with flavour, offering a blend of apple cider and blackcurrant and blackberry juices.
When I took my first sip of Strongbow Dark Fruit, I was immediately hit with the tangy taste of dark berries, followed by a sharp, crisp apple finish. The balance between sweet and sharp is executed perfectly here, making it a refreshing alternative for Rekorderlig lovers who fancy something less sweet.
3. Stella Artois Cidre
Stella Artois may be more famous for its beer, but its venture into the world of cider is equally commendable. Stella Artois Cidre is a Belgian cider that offers a balance between sweetness and tartness, with a crisp and clean finish.
Upon tasting Stella Artois Cidre, I was pleasantly surprised by the complexity of its flavour profile. It starts off sweet, with hints of apple and pear, but finishes with a satisfyingly tart edge. It’s a well-rounded cider and a great step in a different direction for those accustomed to Rekorderlig’s fruit-forward profile.
4. Old Mout Kiwi & Lime
Old Mout (pronounced ‘moot’) is a cider brand from New Zealand, known for their innovative and exciting flavour combinations. Their Kiwi & Lime cider is a refreshing and unique offering, presenting a fun twist on traditional apple cider.
The first thing that struck me when I tried Old Mout Kiwi & Lime was the zesty kick of lime, followed by the subtle sweetness of kiwi. The flavours were beautifully balanced, resulting in a cider that was both refreshing and intriguing. This is a great choice for Rekorderlig fans who are looking for a cider with a bit of a twist.
5. Thatchers Gold Cider
Finally, we have Thatchers Gold Cider, a traditional British cider that’s made using a blend of dessert and cider apples. It’s less sweet than Rekorderlig, but its natural apple flavour and smooth finish make it a great alternative.
Thatchers Gold was a lovely surprise, offering a robust apple flavour without the excessive sweetness found in some ciders. It had a smooth, clean finish that left me wanting more. This is an excellent choice for those who enjoy Rekorderlig’s Apple cider but are looking for a more traditional cider experience.
Conclusion
There you have it, five fantastic alternatives to Rekorderlig that are sure to please any cider lover. Whether you prefer your cider sweet and fruity or more traditional and robust, there’s something on this list for everyone.
My personal recommendation? Give them all a try! Each one offers a unique tasting experience and might just become your new favourite. But if I had to choose just one, I’d say Stella Artois Cidre stands out for its balance of sweetness and tartness, offering a cider that’s both complex and refreshing. So why not give it a go? You might just find your new cider obsession.
